linking to mp3

I need some help on linking to mp3 files

I have various mp3 files which i want members to be able to download but at the moment when i click on the download link it just opens up in a new window that displays the quick time player and plays the file, is there a way to not make it automatically play, but instead the box comes up and asks you, do you want to open this or save this file.
adding them to a zip file is no good before any one suggests that.

 

Two way..
Tell them to right hand click and press download.

Or..

If you have php on your server, create a file which forces downloads.
If you want, i can find you the code for it, i got it somewhere.

Regards.

 

You could use one of many free swf mp3 players, just embed it on your site

 

That's true, but i think he wants to be able to download.

Anyway heres and example of forcing download.

<?
$link = "DOWNLOAD LINK HERE"
header("Content-type: audio/mpeg;\r\n");
$head = "Content-Disposition: attachment;\r\n";
header($head);
readfile($link);
?>
